In reply to Brian.

Hi Brian. I’m so sorry to hear your dog is struggling with arthritis. That must be horrible to see. Unfortunately there is no good evidence that acupucture is helpful for dogs. Can I suggest seeking a second opinion, if you aren’t happy with your vet’s approach? It’s important that you feel listened to by your dog’s vet, and that they work with you as a team to provide care for your dog.
Wishing your old boy all the best.
Sammie

I have a 16 yr. old Labrador he has arthritis in his back legs. Have you an̈y experience with leg braces and acupuncture for dogs with arthritis. If so, what is your thoughts on the two. Do they do what they say and do you recommend. I have tried almost everything. And when I take vet all the vet does is hand me a bill and pain meds. When asked what can we do. They tell me let’s take care of his ear infection first. And when I call to schedule a follow up they are 3 to maybe 8 weeks out.

Wow, I never knew that feeding puppies very little but very often was the way to go. I had previously assumed that feeding them as much as possible was always the better choice so they have more energy whenever it’s playtime, but your article definitely made sense when it talked about the after-effects of overfeeding. I’ll definitely keep these tips in mind when I find a pet breeder that can get me my first labrador puppy.

I like your tip to train the puppy to sit when he or she wants something and to reinforce that habit with rewards. My niece’s birthday is coming up and she’s always wanted a Labrador-Retriever. We’ve never owned a dog, so your tips will be very helpful.
